    Got any photos of that exhaust set up?

    I want to change mine, but you're the first that's said they have two mufflers. Sound sweet!

    The OEM exhaust running from both engine banks connects the pipes on one after the cats by an "Y" configurarion,then goes along all the way on the driver's side to the rear end.

    All you got to do is get rid of that Y connection & run another pipe on the passenger side,same as the left side,the smaller the size of the muffler the better,honestly there is not much room to play with on the passenger side;My 2nd muffler lies right under the charcoal canister,but i could work without any problem.
    The gains are less backpressure,more exhaust flow & faster sprint off.

    I spoke with a dynomax costumer rep & he told me dynomax is one of the few muffler manufacturers that proves vehicule gains performance specs by using their products :

    "We at dynomax are well aware that most of the cars enthusiasts love the high growl of hi-tech mufflers under the cars,but that doesn't assure it will provide better performance for they vehicules after intallation,And what about those that prefers a low,less noisy & discrete growl,but with excelent performance from their mufflers ? Those also deserves a good-quality muffler"

    The dynomax superturbo (model 177-47) is 4 1/4 x 9 3/4 " in diameter,while the overall body lenght is only 25 1/2 ".

    Both,inlet & outlet are 2 1/2" which is the OEM diameter of the VX exhaust pipe so no adapters are needed.

    But dynomax has other muffler configurations for those whom choose not to run two mufflers,but two inlet to two exhaust pipes,one inlet-two exhaust,etc

    If you want your neighbors to know whenever you are coming or leaving then go for magnaflow,flowmaster & borla,but if want to catch your wife cheating on you @ home then go for the dynomax LOL

    Here's they website :http://dynomax.com/mufflers.php?muffler=superturbo

    I have a new in box Power Vault 2 muffler, a rare aftermarket unit designed specifically for the VX, to give it an increase in HP and a bit of a growl. I could let it go for $190.00, shipped.
    Best,

    Im anoyed at seeing everyones custom mufflers
    Went to the exhaust shop he booked me in the for monday last week, right so i go there monday, they have a problem with there rollerdoor and dont know what time itl be fixed so not sure if he can do it, i said righto ill pop back tomorrow, he said sweet

    so go in on the tuesday, and i get not sure if we can do it today were quite busy im thinking hmm i know your busy but you had me booked in for the monday and you couldnt do it cause of your roller door problem, so you tell me to come back tuesday but you still dont do it!.

    Right so i get told to come back on friday, i take it there and i get we are real busy today i worked to 1am last night, if i get a spare 30 min ill do your muffler. im thinking ok right you tell me to come friday but then you say you cant do it.

    now i get told to come wednesday next week. which will be my 4th time going there.
    it better be done, mainly becase im getting anoyed at getting told a date getting there and being told they cant do it cause there too busy etc.

    Im a pretty patient person but getting pissed around is pretty dam anoying.

    ive used the shop before and there normaly pretty good. so to be honest wednesday is gonna be my last time or il most likely take my business elsewhere, but im sure theyl do it.

    once all done ill report back with a video and pics etc
